Henderson's Goreless Carrot 



{Shown in colors on opposite page) 

 The Finest Early Table Variety Grown 

 Handsome, Meltingly Tender and Sweet 



This Carrot, introduced by us, has proven one of the most uni- 

 versally popular varieties ever sent out. People who never liked 

 Carrots before are delighted with the melting tenderness and sweet, 

 mild flavor of Henderson's Coreless. 



It is a half-long cylindrical Carrot, blunt-pointed, with a small 

 tap-root and small top. They run very uniform in shape and size, 

 6 to 7 inches lorg by 1J^ inches through; clean skinned, smooth, 

 easily pulled and keep well. The flesh is of fine texture, entirely de- 

 void of stringiness, coarseness and woody heart or core. The color 

 of the flesh is the rich red-orange so attractive when served. Hender- 

 son's Coreless excels all other half-long Carrots in earliness without 

 being inferior to them in productiveness. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 

 $1.20 \i lb., $4.00 lb. 



"Previous to eating Henderson's Coreless Carrots I did not care for that 

 kind of vegetable, but we raised Coreless last year, and having learned their 

 flavor, I cannot get enough of them."

Oxheart or Guerande Carrot 



An excellent sort for the private garden, being especially valuable 

 for spring and early summer crop. Its short, stocky character gives 

 it great value on shallow soils, where the larger varieties will not 

 succeed and the compact growing leaves allow close planting. The 

 quality is excellent; it remains tender long after maturity, and may 

 be used while very small for soups, etc. It is excellent for growing 

 in frames. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. I4 lb., $3.00 lb. 



Henderson's Intermediate Carrot 



A large, handsome, main crop variety, between half-long and long, 

 with an enormous yielding capacity in deep soils. The root, 10 or 

 12 inches in length, is very broad at the neck, 2 to 3 inches through, 

 and tapers evenly to the small tap-root. It grows smoothly and 

 uniformly and has rich reddish-orange flesh, tender, sweet and en- 

 tirely free from woody coarseness even at maturity. 



As a table Carrot it is unsurpassed ; for truckers its fine color and 

 appearance render it salable, while as a field Carrot its great yield 

 makes it valuable. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. M lb-> $3.00 lb. 



Improved Long Orange Carrot 



An improved strain of this popular variety for either garden or 

 field culture, roots averaging 12 inches in length and 3 inches in 

 diameter at the top; an enormous vielder and a good keeper. Price, 

 5c. pkt, 15c. oz., 50c. J4 lb., $1.50~lb. 



Henderson's hIIS^ Danvers Carrot 



(Shown in colors on opposite page) 

 A handsome half-long, cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good size 

 and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large size; is smooth, and 

 the flesh very close in texture with very little core. It is a first-class 

 Carrot for all soils and has yielded 25 to 30 tons per acre, with the 

 smallest length of root of any now grown. It is more easily harvested 

 than the longer types and is excellent to store for winter, for stock 

 or table use. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb., $2.00 lb. 



Chantenay Carrot 



This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long "stump" or blunt- 

 rooted type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater 

 girth, bulk and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, 

 is broad at the neck, narrowing gradually to the round, blunt base, 

 therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, almost free from core, is of 

 rich orange-red and of the finest, 

 table quality; fine-grained, $ 

 tender, juicy and 

 delicately flavor-

Henderson's Succession Cabbage 



(Shown in colors on plate opposite) 



THE MOST CELEBRATED SECOND-EARLY VARIETY IN CULTIVATION 



The Finest Cabbage for General Use. 



The Delight of the Amateur. 



Enormous Heads of Exceedingly Tender Quality 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE we consider one of our 

 most valuable contributions to horticulture. 



It stands today unrivaled as a second-early or main-crop sort, 

 and few vegetables have held their place in public esteem for so 

 many years. The heads become solid long before they are fully 

 grown, so that though immature, heads of satisfactory size may be 

 cut long before it is at its best. This quality, combined with its 

 ability to stand well without splitting, makes it available for use 

 over a longer season than any variety we know, and the best to 

 use where only one sort is grown. 



We introduced this variety in 1888, and its appearance attracted 

 instant attention. Since then there have been many attempts 

 ai imitating it, but the enormous increase of our sales, and the 

 periodically unsatisfied demand for our stock, give testimony to 

 the acknowledged superiority of Henderson's Succession over all 

 would-be competitors. It stands today a money maker for the 

 trucker, and the delight of the amateur. 



It is a second-early variety coming in immediately after the first- 

 early sorts. It _ greatly exceeds in size any variety in its season. 

 Without doubt it is the best second-early Cabbage in existence, and 

 is so finely bred, so free from coarse veining of the leaves, that, in 

 addition to its reliability and sure cropping quality, it possesses all 

 the fine qualities of the very best earlier varieties. Price, 10c. pkt., 

 50c. oz., $1.60 }i lb., $6.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION CABBAGE RECEIVES 

 NOTHING BUT PRAISE WHEREVER GROWN 



"Growers of wide experience regard Henderson's Succession Cabbage as the 

 most important production in the cabbage line, and the surest to produce a crop. 

 It is a tradewinner for the market gardener, which is the reason it continues to 

 grow in popular favor." w E VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 



"I have had three years' experience with Hendersoti's Succession and I have 

 found it by far the best all around Cabbage I ever planted. It is a rapid grower, 

 very hardy, and will head at least 10 per cent, better than any other variety I 

 know. It makes a beautiful head, and surpasses all others I know in flavor. 

 A certain merchant in our town gained quite a number of new customers one 

 season simply because he handled Henderson's Successio?i. By time of sowing 

 seed and planting you can make early, medium and late of it." 



DR. E. A. LEE, Jennings, Louisiana. 



"I used your cabbage seed for the first time last year. The Succession Cab- 

 bage were simply great, hundreds of heads weighing 15 and 20 pounds, and one 

 that I petted a little for show purposes weighed 29)4 pounds." 



B. H. DORWIN, Bainbridge, N. Y. 



"I used to grow your Succession Cabbage years ago in Georgia and have 

 never found anything here as good, so I am ordering some." 



A. S. DEN HAM, St. Augustine, Fla. 



"Henderson's Succession Cabbage Seed I find is the best variety I have ever 

 planted." A. J. HAWSEY, Clinton, la. 



"Henderson's Succession is the fittest Cabbage on earth. I had them all 

 winter, in fact up to April \5th, stored in cold cellar." 



W. L. EVERIT, Jr., Wellsville. N. Y. 



NOTE. — ^ ms P eel "l ess variety is so well known and so much sought after, that many firms are offering A "SUCCESSION" 

 ===== CABBAGE. We have tested many of these and find some entirely untrue and others of inferior strains. Be sure to 

 get our highly bred and selected type, which is procurable only direct from us. — PETER HENDERSON & CO.
